Auto sales in the United States are starting to pick up again, and that's a good thing for the automotive sector. You would also think that it would certainly help by putting more auto mechanics back to work, but that doesn't seem to be the case right now. As more car dealerships are able to get back in business, they should be able to hire all those people who are currently unemployed. Indeed, that might also take a while, so what is someone to do with automotive maintenance experience? Okay so let's talk about this shall we?
Perhaps, now is as good a time as any to start a mobile auto service business. In other words, put all of your tools into a truck or van and go out and service customer's cars on site. Most mechanics these days, especially in the automotive sector do own their own tools. Since they own their own tools, they already have most of what they need to start a mobile maintenance auto business. Perhaps they might want to do routine maintenance, and simple things such as changing the oil, changing brakes, or minor repairs.
There are lots of services which are needed on a mobile basis for car customers. There are folks who do automotive detailing, mobile car washing, mobile oil changing, windshield repair, and auto maintenance. If you were in the auto service business, or have been employed in that sector all of your life, and you still can't find a job, at least not yet - and if you are tired of waiting and wish to find something to do to ensure some income, this might be a good time to start your own business.
If you already have a work van, trailer, or truck, and all the tools as well, then you are halfway there. All you need at that point would be some marketing, a few customers, and you'd be good to go. This doesn't guarantee your success, but it means you have the necessary tools to get started, and that would be a lot better than sitting at home wondering if you will ever find a job, or if this economy will ever recover to the point where your former employer will call you back, or a new automotive business will open in your town and need your services right away.
Indeed if you can't find a job, perhaps it is time to start looking at starting your own mobile service business in the auto sector. Please consider all this and think on it.
